A NSW Health spokesperson said the new building is being delivered as part of the NSW Government's $122 million Rural Ambulance Infrastructure Reconfiguration program and "is on track for construction completion before the end of 2019."
Builders have been working very hard and efficiently at the site with locals able to see how fast the building has been put together.
"Internal linings and external parking are both currently being completed on-site, with landscaping to start in the coming weeks," a NSW Health spokesperson said.
The new Grenfell station will include:
o Internal parking for up to three emergency ambulance vehicles
o Administration and office areas o Staff amenities o Logistics and storage areas
o Relief accommodation
o Staff parking
o External wash bay
The new Ambulance Station is conveniently located right next door to Grenfell Community Health as well as the Grenfell Hospital and has been seen as a fantastic move from the current Grenfell Ambulance Station in the main street of town with modern and up to date facilities available for local Ambulance officers.
"To date, 24 upgraded, rebuilt or new regional and rural ambulance stations have been announced under the RAIR program, including completed stations at Wagga Wagga, Coolamon, Ardlethan, Harden, Molong, Griffith, Kiama, Berry, Bay and Basin, Toukley, Wauchope, Hamlyn Terrace, Bathurst, Pottsville and Yass" the spokesperson said.
The Grenfell Ambulance Station along with the others being either refurbished, rebuilt or new stations is the biggest step in NSW Ambulance infrastructure since NSW Ambulance Service came into creation.
"This represents the biggest regional and rural transformation of NSW Ambulance infrastructure in the organisation's history," the spokesperson said.
The new Grenfell Ambulance Station is expected to open before the end of the year.
